Late last week Tech Wired was invited to a….
“…exclusive and interactive media briefing on LG’s new flagship multimedia phone.”

There was a picture included in the invite that we thought looked very familiar. As soon as we got the invite it was thought that LG were launching the suspected new iPhone.
Unfortunately we won’t be in Sydney for the event, but will let you know what happens as soon as we’re given more info.

Ruslan Kogan, founder of Australian-based consumer electronics company Kogan Technologies, posted a blog entry yesterday informing the public that the Agora mobile phone will be delayed indefinitely due to “potential future interoperability issues”. In other words, it’s been cancelled.

Attached is a video of myself showing off Telstra’s Easy Touch Discovery phone.

I discuss how big the buttons are and who the phone is aimed at.
I also demonstrate how easy it is to remove the SIM and battery.
It can even be used as a NextG modem!

RETAIL giant Woolworths is soon to become a mobile virtual network operator, much like Virgin is to Optus.
By doing so it will enter into the competitive market very easily, perhaps having the advantage of being one of the most popular places people currently get recharge cards for their mobile phones.
